About this picture

The district of Perg is a political district of the state of Upper Austria .

geography

Location and limits

The district of Perg, the smallest of the four districts of the Mühlviertel , is located in the southeast of the Mühlviertel or in the southern part of the Lower Mühlviertel and extends from Luftenberg an der Donau in the west to Hirschenau in the municipality of St. Nikola an der Donau in the east. The geographic center is in the cadastral community of Innernstein in the market town of Münzbach at 361  m above sea level. A. The 26 parishes cover an area of ​​613,175,789.69 square meters and the perimeter is 197,519.29 meters.

The area of the district most recently with January 1, 1997 by streamlining the county line in Langenstein changed where the original to the City Enns in District Linz- owned site of the ruined castle Spielberg (Schlossau) due to the location north of the Danube with January 1, 1997 was assigned to the district of Perg.

The northernmost point is in St. Georgen am Walde . In the south the Danube forms the natural border. Only in Mitterkirchen im Machland does the district border continue to run along the previous river basin ( Danube oxbow ) even after the change in the course of the Danube (construction of the Wallsee-Mitterkirchen power plant ). In Luftenberg an der Donau, the Ausee area south of the Danube belongs to the Perg district.

Neighboring districts are the Urfahr-Umgebung district and the state capital Linz in the west, the Linz-Land and Amstetten districts in the south, the Melk and Zwettl districts in the east and the Freistadt district in the north .

Focus

The main area of ​​the Perg district lies in the cadastral municipality of Innernstein , municipality of Münzbach ( ).

geology

In the north, the Perg district comprises a strongly structured mountain and hill country (including Aist-Naarn-Kuppenland , Untermühlviertler Schollenland), some central layers with embedded basins and plains on the Danube. The high altitudes are foothills of the Bohemian massif with the Burstall in the municipality of St. Georgen am Walde as the highest point at 948  m above sea level. A. The parts of the district located in the Danube plains belong to the landscape region of the Alpine foothills . In the east of the district, on the Danube, there is also the lowest point of the district and, at the same time, Upper Austria at 220  m above sea level. A.

From a geological and geomorphological point of view as well as aspects of the use of space, the district of Perg belongs to 7 of the 41 spatial units of the federal state of Upper Austria .

  • The Machland spatial unit includes parts of the following communities: Arbing, Baumgartenberg, Grein, Mauthausen, Mitterkirchen im Machland, Naarn im Machlande, Ried in der Riedmark, Saxen and Schwertberg.
  • The Aist-Naarn-Kuppenland spatial unit includes parts of the following communities: Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis, Arbing, Bad Kreuzen, Baumgartenberg, Dimbach, Grein, Klam, Münzbach, Pabneukirchen, Perg, Rechberg, Ried in der Riedmark, St. Georgen am Walde, St. Nikola on the Danube, St. Thomas on the bladder stone, Schwertberg, Waldhausen im Strudengau and Windhaag near Perg.
  • For room unit Southern Mühlviertler peripheral areas include parts of the following communities: Arbing, Baumgartenberg, Grein, Katsdorf, Klam, Langenstein, Luftenberg an der Donau, Mauthausen, Münzbach, Perg, Ried in Ried Mark, St. Georgen an der Gusen, Saxen, Schwertberg and wind Hague at Perg.
  • The Danube Gorge and Side Valleys spatial unit includes parts of the following communities: Grein, St. Nikola an der Donau and Waldhausen im Strudengau.
  • The Linzer Feld spatial unit includes parts of the following communities: Langenstein, Luftenberg an der Donau, Mauthausen and St. Georgen an der Gusen.

  • Parts of the following communities belong to the Central Mühlviertler Hochland spatial unit : Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis, Luftenberg an der Donau, Mauthausen, Ried in der Riedmark, St. Georgen an der Gusen.

In the south of the district in particular, granite , sandstone and kaolin are usable raw materials , which is why mining in granite and sandstone quarries and kaolin mining from All Saints' Day have played an economic role for centuries .

In the district of Perg, some granite stone formations, so-called wool sack weathering , are designated as natural monuments .

Waters

From Grein to Ybbs, the Danube has created a 25-kilometer-long breakthrough valley, the Strudengau. The tributaries also cut deep into the foothills of the granite massif on their way to the Danube. Such breakthrough valleys are for example the Gusental, the Aisttal (= Josefstal), the Naarntal, the Klamschlucht of the Klambach, the Stillensteinklamm of the Gießenbach etc.

All flowing waters in the Perg district drain to the Danube. The most important rivers include the Gusen (Große Gusen, Kleine Gusen), the Riederbach , the Aist ( Feldaist , Waldaist ), the Naarn (Große Naarn, Kleine Naarn), the Klambach , the Kämpbach, the Gießenbach , the Dimbach, the Sarmingbach and the little Isper .

In the Perg district, some lakes have been created that are also suitable for swimming. The Mitterkirchen bathing lake and the Ausee in Luftenberg an der Donau are former gravel pits fed by groundwater , the bathing lakes in Rechberg and Waldhausen are hamlets created by the damming of streams .

The waters were often used by fishing , on the Aist, Naarn and Sarmingbach from the 18th century for the flood of failure and from the 20th century for power generation by small hydropower plants .

The south of the Perg district was affected by flood disasters in the 20th and 21st centuries, as in previous centuries (see main article Perger Au ). In July 1954 and August 2002, when the water levels were sometimes higher than in 1954, there was considerable flooding from the streams, rivers and their tributaries flowing from the north to the Danube, caused by prolonged rainfall in the hinterland. In particular, the Naarn valley and the Josef valley had to be extensively renovated due to the flood damage in 2002/2003.

The flood protection project Machland Nord , also called Machland Dam, protects seven municipalities in Machland in Upper Austria and in Strudengau in Upper Austria from further flood disasters of up to one hundred years on the left of the Danube between Mauthausen and St. Nikola an der Donau in 2012 over a length of 36.4 kilometers . The project was the largest of around four hundred Austrian flood protection projects. At the same time it was the largest flood protection program in Central Europe and the history of Upper Austria .

climate

Both oceanic and continental climatic features are noticeable in the Perg district. From 1946 Robert Zinterhof ran a climate station in Pabneukirchen on a voluntary basis for more than 50 years and reported the values ​​he read three times a day to the Central Institute in Vienna. The station's task was to research the mean weather conditions and the weather patterns over the months and years for the Lower Mühlviertel.

The eastern Mühlviertel is very sunny and has a milder climate than the central and western Mühlviertel. The annual mean air temperature is 7.2 degrees Celsius and the average rainfall is 880 liters per square meter. The highest recorded temperature was measured on July 5, 1950 with 37.5 degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature with -26.9 degrees Celsius on February 10, 1956. The highest annual precipitation in 1974 was 1150 mm and the highest daily precipitation on July 23, 1957 was 56 mm.

District Commission, District Court

When the manorial or patrimonial administration was abolished in 1848 and the district offices with their rulership and district commissariats were dissolved, they were replaced by Lieutenancies with newly created district authorities. The district authority for the district of Perg with the official seat in Grein was one of 12 in the country ob der Enns and was established in 1850, but only existed until 1854. After various unsuccessful restructuring in the sense of neo-absolutism , one of 12 district authorities was established in 1868 for the district of Perg Seat established in the municipality of Perg.

In addition to the judicial district Grein , judicial district Mauthausen and judicial district Perg , this district also included the judicial district Pregarten , which was added to the Freistadt district in 1903 as part of the establishment of the Urfahr district administration . At that time the district covered 815.22 square kilometers and in 1890 had 53,730 inhabitants (of which 26,155 were male and 27,575 female). There were 58 communities with 388 localities. The judicial district of Perg covered 19.57 square kilometers and had 12,915 inhabitants.

In 1938, after Austria was incorporated into the German Reich, the district authorities were converted into district offices. After the war in 1945, the previous state was restored. On May 25, 1945, the state of Lower Austria temporarily took over the Perg district in its administration and appointed its own district captain. Only after the conclusion of the treaty of the settled and after completion in Urfahr and state Deputy Governor John Blöchl led civil administration Mühlviertel could on January 1, 1956 Upper Austrian provincial government begin its official business in the Bezirkshauptmannschaft Perg.

On January 1, 2003, the Grein District Court was closed. The municipalities of the dissolved judicial district (Bad Kreuzen, Dimbach, Grein, Klam, Pabneukirchen, St. Georgen am Walde, St. Nikola an der Donau, St. Thomas am Blasenstein, Saxen and Waldhausen im Strudengau) were assigned to the judicial district of Perg. The ten mentioned municipalities of the former judicial district Grein have since come under the control of the Amstetten land surveying office.

On January 1, 2014, the Mauthausen District Court was closed. All parishes of the dissolved judicial district were assigned to the judicial district of Perg.

Population development


Church administrative units

Starting from the Taufkirchen Naarn, Ried and Saxen, which were equipped with basilicas in the 10th century, the deaneries developed as an ecclesiastical administrative unit first of the diocese of Passau and, from 1784, of the diocese of Linz .

Both the monasteries in Baumgartenberg and Waldhausen , founded by Otto von Machland in the 12th century, as well as the Dominican monasteries in Windhaag and Münzbach , established as part of the Counter-Reformation , were closed in the course of the Josephine reforms and their property transferred to the cathedral chapter of the newly founded diocese of Linz.

Only the Baumgartenberg Monastery was chosen as a settlement around the middle of the 19th century, first by the Jesuits , later by the Franciscans and then by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd .

After the separation from the Diocese of Passau in 1783/85, the parishes of the Perg district belonged to the deaneries Grein, Pabneukirchen and Pregarten. In 1974, the dean's offices and the boundaries of the dean's office were reallocated:

Since then, 10 parishes have belonged to the Grein dean's office in the Perg district (Bad Kreuzen, Dimbach, Grein, Klam, Pabneukirchen, St. Georgen am Wald, St. Nikola an der Donau, St. Thomas am bladder stone, Saxen and Waldhausen) and 12 to the dean's office Perg Parishes (Allerheiligen, Arbing, Baumgartenberg, Mauthausen, Mitterkirchen, Münzbach, Naarn, Perg, Pergkirchen, Rechberg, Schwertberg and Windhaag) and in addition to the parishes from other districts 3 parishes (Katsdorf, Ried in der Riedmark and St. Georgen to the Pregarten deanery ) the Gusen).

economy

The economic structure is predominantly industrial and commercial. Construction and mechanical engineering are dominant. A third of the approximately 2,300 companies are located in the Mauthausen - Schwertberg - Perg triangle . The three municipalities have the highest degree of industrialization in the Mühlviertel. 41% of those in employment have their job outside of the district, and by far the greatest number of commuters work in Linz. The trend of the jobs offered in the district is increasing.

18 municipalities in the district worked together in the LEADER Region Strudengau from 2007 to 2013 , one municipality belongs to the Leader Region Mühlviertler Alm , and seven municipalities have not yet joined any regional association.

The district of Perg is the only district in Austria with two Danube power plants. ( Wallsee-Mitterkirchen power plant and Abhaben-Asten power plant ). The Danube forms with few exceptions, the southern boundary of the district and between Mauthausen and St. Nikola an der Donau the border between Upper and Lower Austria. In the Perg district, in addition to the power plants already mentioned, it also forms the storage space for the Ybbs-Persenbeug power plant .

In the funding period from 2014 to 2020, the LEADER region was expanded by a further 6 to 24 municipalities in the Perg district, with the name also being changed to the Perg-Strudengau region in this context.

Culture

Monument protection

In the district, 150 objects are protected by ordinance and 70 by decision of the Federal Monuments Office.

Museums

The district of Perg has a number of museums with very different collections. There are also some open-air museums. Some of the museums in the Perg district are networked in the regional museum association Museumsland Donauland Strudengau. Under the title Radkultour, some tourist bike routes have been signposted that lead directly to the region's museums. Most belong to the association of Upper Austrian museums . Some of the museums are located on the Danube Cycle Path or on the Donausteig and are therefore well known beyond the region.
